Seed dinners in London and Manchester this week attracted more than 1,000 guests and raised £500,000 for the educational charity's efforts to nurture Judaism in modern family life.

Reviewing the past year, national director Rabbi Joey Grunfeld highlighted a successful pilot scheme to place parent educators in Jewish primary schools.

"Our first parent educator, Rabbi Daniel Sturgess, is now well established at Sinai School, working on a variety of programmes with the children and their parents. We have just placed Rabbi Gary Bazak into Wolfson Hillel School and a third parent educator will be starting in another school in September."

He also spoke about the Links programme for batmitzvah girls and their mothers, which culminates in an Israel trip.
